Live journalism: Investigative Journalism on stage
Friday May 23, 2025 6:30pm - 8:00pm CEST
Telling stories live to those around us, using our voices, is probably the oldest storytelling format of all. Live Journalism, on the other hand, is a more recent but fast-growing phenomenon, with new groups emerging in different countries every year. While there's no single definition of Live Journalism, most often it involves journalists taking their reporting on stage to perform and do their storytelling in front of a live audience.

This year, Dataharvest is showcasing a Live Journalism performance, produced with Christine Liehr, co-founder and managing director of Headliner, where we'll experiment with ways of bringing to life journalistic investigations done by the Dataharvest community.

This will not be like the sessions we attend during the day, which focus on sharing methodologies and tools. Instead, this event invites you to experience journalism in a different way: as a live, on-stage, storytelling act.

The performance will feature two investigative journalists from the Dataharvest community, who will showcase the story revealed by a big cross-border investigation they recently worked on along with colleagues from other European countries.

Come to enjoy this experimental production — and to get inspired about how you too could organise a Live Journalism event back in your city!

Note: light snacks and drinks will be served before and after the performance.
